I am guessing you are having a bad day with your meds or it bothers you that someone else has an opinion?

Good job Mart. With a smallish cow it's makes the packing not quite as much of a chore. But the eating should really be good. Glad to hear the report on the 400 as well.
Congrats.

Congrats on a successful hunt. My brother is flying to Fairbanks this evening on a Caribou hunt in unit 26A North slope. Hopefully he and his buddies will fill their tags also.

Are they doing a fly in hunt or the 5 mile death march?

They are flying in. Not in shape enough for the death march. He's hoping for a kill within 50yds from camp. LOL
